Turn off camera light by default

Bambu Lab A1 Series Bambu Lab A1 mini

Hello community,

I just started using my first Bambu Lab A1 mini printer and have already printed a lot of stuff. I realized that I could change the behavior of my printer using something called G-Codes.

My question is simple: Does anyone know the G-code to turn off the camera light when a new print starts? For me it’s really annoying because I built my own printer case with better external light and I want the printer light to always be off.

I know i can turn off the light via app. But i always have to do that manually.
I would like to have it automated.

I would love to know how to make the “light off” the default for it also.

Same request. Bumping. I want a way to shut it off and not have it come back on next print.

Same here!

Just created a request on GitHub in hopes they can implement a “light permanently off” feature.

Please upvote to get Bambus attention.

I would agree with that, yes. It would be best if you could somehow adjust the default settings on the printer.

I got the same question. I want a way to automatically shut it off after every print and have it come back on next print.

This is very much needed. It’s irritating having to remember to turn if off every single time I start a print.

This is so simple to program it drives me nuts. All they need to do is when a user turns the light on/off, remember that and save it. When a print starts, set the light to that saved value. 99% of people are going to want the setting to be what it was last print.

It’s literally a couple of lines of code.

The easiest way is to unplug it.

That’s actually a smart idea! If it’s just a cable that can be unplugged, I will do that in the meanwhile.

:ok_hand:t3:

I also hate it that it’s turned on by default. I have the light system based on the camera light, so it’s super annoying. I would like to see an option to choose whether it should be turned on or off

Yep!! They seem to have finally fixed (added) that feature :smiley:

To be more precise, the camera light actualiy remembers the last state, so it may still turn on when you power up the printer.

if it’s not remembering the last state, you can comment this out in Machine Start Gcode,
